There are four history books detailing the history of Wigton School, later called Brookfield. The school was founded in 1815 at Highmoor in Wigton. Pictures and a description of these early years can be found by following the gallery tab on the menu bar.
History articles written by Former Pupils are linked below.
The earliest history is a pamphlet entitled Wigton School and the surrounding area. Only three existing copies are known by us. One of them is owned by Mr & Mrs Snowball. A second copy exists in the Quaker library. A third copy was sold to an unknown buyer by an antiquarian book seller in 2008. If you know of another copy we would love to hear from you. Two pages from this pamphlet are reproduced below. The second, Appendix D refers to the creation of WOSA in 1890.
